    Married 2nd, April 14, 1770, Experience Stanton, dau. of Nathaniel and Mary (Coit) Stanton.
    He lived on the east side of Avery Pond, in Ledyard. He was a farmer and goldsmith. He also made brass-wheeled clocks, some of which are said to be still in running order. He taught his trade to four of his sons, John, Samuel, William and Robert.
    He was justice of the peace many years; selectman of Preston, 1774, 1775. In May, 1774, he was commissioned ensign of the train band of Preston, in Oct., 1774, lieutenant (Conn. Col. Rec. 14:266, 334).
    From the Preston town records we copy the following:
    Nov. 21, 1774, "And whereas a strict observance to the plan adopted and agreed to by said congress (at Philadelphia) appears the best method of maintaining our just rights and privileges, this meeting made choice of John Avery, Jr. [and fourteen others] to be a committee to inspect the conduct of the inhabitants of said Preston and all other persons within the same that they strictly comply with the several articles agreed to by the said Congress."
    This refers to "The Association of the United Colonies" (the non-importantion agreement) adopted by the first continental congress, and signed by its members, Oct. 20, 1774. For further particulars, see Avery's "History of the United States and its People," Vol. 5, page 222.
    December 10, 1776, John Avery, Jr. was chosen one of the committee of inspection for Preston for the coming year. Jan. 5, 1778, he was one of a committee "chosen to make a draft to instruct our deputies to the General Assembly to be convened at Hartford on the second Thursday of Jan. to adopt articles of Confederation." He was deputy from Preston, Oct. 1771 (Conn. Col. Rec., 13:511). In the Connecticut State Records (1:129), under date Dec. 1776, we read:
    "Resolved by this Assembly that John Avery, Jr. of Preston, be and he is hereby appointed in addition to the committee appointed to procure and purchase fire arms in this state agreeable to the acts and resolutions."
    Being too frail to go into active service himself he procured and paid a substitute who served during the war and came home safe.
    In his will, made March 28, 1793, he mentioned all his sons, and his daus, Aipporah Cook, Hannah Avery, and Mary Avery (Norwich Wills, 9:51)
    He died July 23, 1794, at Preston. In the settlement of his estate, his son, John, is called "eldest son of said deceased by a former venture."

    He served on the galley "Shark" under his brother, Capt. Theophilus Stanton, in 1776, and on the ship "Oliver Trumbull" in 1779 (Conn. Men in the Rev'n, 594 & Rev. Rolls, 262).
    The "Shark" was probably captured, as Nathaniel Stanton was made prisoner and was kept two years in Canada. After the war, he was captain of a merchant vessel and in 1787, was lost at sea in a hurricane in the West Indies.
